I am a Dutch translator translating E.O. Wilson's autobiography, and I
am looking for the Latin names of a number of insects, plants and
mammals in order to be able to look up their names in Dutch (if they
have any, of course). If anyone knows the Dutch names straight off, I
would be very happy to get them too, of course.
These are the English common names:
sea nettle Eastern spadefoot toad
Elephant ear arum
grapsid crabs Lion
ants Spanish moss
citronella ant blue
crab golden-winged julia
goatweed butterfly zebra swallowtail
spongillafly
chorus frog dusty
wing royal palm
bush fly bulldog
ants yate trees
sandplain ants Florida panther
turtle grass
boxleaf stopper strangler fig
dagger wings
purple wing Bahama bananaquit
Florida scrub jay
whiptail wallaby northern spotted owl
In case this is read by Dutch biologists and/or ethologists, I have some
questions for them as well: How do Dutch population biologists render
the following English phrases in Dutch articles, books or lectures (if
at all)?
discordant patchiness of distribution
bomb calorimeter
species abundance
distribution overflow
probability transition matrices of behavioral acts
